Key Benefits

  • Reduced Sludge Volume up to 80%
    Lower transportation and disposal costs as 
    the DLT addresses one of the most pressing 
    challenges in wastewater treatment offering 
    significant operational savings and a smaller 
    environmental footprint.
  • Simplified Maintenance
    By eliminating the need for confined space entry,  we reduce maintenance time and costs, improve safety, and minimize the need for specialized training or equipment.

  • Enhanced 24/7 Operational Efficiency
    Maximizing throughput with minimal operator 
    attention, the DLT optimizes labor resources 
    and improves plant productivity ensuring 
    consistent performance and reduces the need 
    for frequent start-ups and shutdowns.
  • Improved Safety (NFPA 820/654 compliant)
    Our design mitigates risks associated with biosolids processing, safeguarding operators and reducing
    potential liabilities.

Why Choose the Centrisys DLT Low-Temperature Dryer?

Modular Design

Integrated Heat Recovery System

Compact Footprint

Class A Biosolids Production

Modular Design

  • Our scalable design (1-6 heat segments, 200-2,000 lb H2O/hr evaporation) allows for future expansion, reducing initial capital costs while providing flexibility for growing needs protecting your investment but also facilitates easier maintenance and minimizes downtime during repairs.

Integrated Heat Recovery System

  • By recapturing and reusing heat, our system significantly improves energy efficiency, cutting operational costs eliminating single points of failure, enhancing overall system reliability and ensuring continuous operation even during maintenance.

Compact Footprint

  • The low-profile design enables installation in existing structures, saving on new construction costs while preserving valuable plant space for other processes. This flexibility is crucial for facilities with space constraints or those planning for future expansions.

Class A Biosolids Production

  • Meeting stringent regulatory requirements for pathogen reduction, the DLT opens up more options for beneficial reuse of biosolids with up to 194 F (90 C) internal temperature. This capability not only ensures compliance but also potentially creates new revenue streams for your facility.

Technical Highlights

  • Hot water temperature: 194 F (90 C) maximum
    This optimal temperature balances drying efficiency with safety, operating below flash-ignition temperatures to enhance overall plant safety while maintaining effective drying performance.
  • Achieves >90% solids content
    By maximizing volume reduction and producing a stable, easily manageable end product, our system significantly reduces storage and handling requirements while improving the quality of the final biosolids.
  • Optional back-mixing for <18% DS
    This feature expands the range of influent sludge characteristics that can be processed, increasing operational flexibility and allowing the system to adapt to varying input conditions.
